Ceremonies included a presentation of the colors by the Campbell High School ROTC and the national anthem by renown singer (and former Miss Alaska) Maryline Blackburn. After that we recognized Purple Heart Veterans, Korean War Veterans, veterans of World War II, the Vietnam War, Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom and all Veterans. This was followed by an American Legion ceremony led by Charlie Barrett.
Our special speaker was Korean War veteran Ben S. Malcom. Col. Malcom is known throughout the Armed Forces as laying the foundation for today’s Special Forces Operations. He was followed by Bob Lanzotti, who spoke about the Vietnam War. We had beautiful choral music by the Belmont Hills Elementary School Honors Chorus, military band music by the 116th Georgia Army National Guard Band, and a benediction by Korean War veteran Sam Whitfield. Master of Ceremonies was Smyrna native Ken Turner, who is a Vietnam War Purple Heart veteran.
